I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 125 The law is the king of the country? (5217)

The transaction has been completed, and Ivita and Mrs. Alice have signed a long-term cooperation contract. There are two copies in total, and each party holds one.

Ivita said curiously: "How many cities have been successfully couped by noble factions, the Republic of Florcana will be so angry."

Mrs. Alice said worriedly: "It doesn't matter if it's a small city."

"The coups were planned in several big cities. Among the top ten cities, besides the coup in [Parvega], six other cities had coups, and the coups in four of them had been suppressed. .”

"These people should have made an agreement to work together on an approximate date to prevent the cities from being informed of their plot in advance."

"But the tenth-ranked [Cameron] city and the seventh-ranked [Sachs] city, the city councils of these two cities have unilaterally announced that they have been banned by the noble council."

"In addition, the newly formed noble council declared that it would join the alliance of barons headed by Viscount Winchester."

"They also announced that, for the nearest period of time, the commercial trade of the city would be stopped, and the guild system would be abolished, and all citizens of the city would be revoked."

Mrs. Alice explained: "In Ambrose's spacious western border, there are mostly cities, small towns, and villages, while the eastern border is in a complex form of mountains and plains. There are mostly baron territories there, and it is these barons They organized themselves to form the Viscount Winchester's party."

"Fortunately, the Alliance of Three Viscounts, which is in charge of guarding the eastern border of Ambrose, has always maintained neutrality and will not join the city or Viscount Winchester."

Evita was silent.

Because his territory is Ambrose's Guardian of the West, and the Third Viscount is Winchester's Guardian of the East.

They all guarded the main mountain pass from the outside world into Ambrose.

However, I heard from Griffin that the mountain road to the east is wider than the mountain road where my territory is located, and there is a vast plain where the Three Viscounts Alliance is located, which is the most important route for the independent Viscount Ambrose.

Ambrose's problem is not a day or two.

The economic structure and even the social structure of the east and west sides of this country have been severely divided.

This civil strife was already doomed.

Everything is ready, the only thing missing is an incompetent and childless monarch.

And the dead current grand viscount——the king of Ambrose, is this person.

It's just that I don't know what role the old witch's lover played in it, whether she was really innocent and framed, or if she was really the murderer who killed the eldest viscount.

Evita taps on the table. "Two of the top ten cities are controlled by nobles. The council of Ambrose City should be in a hurry, right?"

"Of course, and without your help, Parvega would have been controlled by the nobles." Mrs. Alice picked up the teacup handed over by the servant, and took a sip of the tea with sugar and milk, "But I think, The guild forces in those two cities will overthrow the noble council sooner or later."

Evita didn't know much about the situation in those two cities, so he didn't comment.

Although he and Mrs. Alice have not known each other for a long time, but because of the things they have experienced together, the relationship between the two at the moment seems to be a year-end friendship.

Evita nodded, "How should I say it?"

Mrs. Alice said: "Because of the support of the Ambrose City Council and the Republic of Frocana this time, they will soon go to those two cities. The noble councils of these two cities are rootless, and they How long can it last?"

"I see." Evita frowned. "The Viscount Winchester is too anxious to do things."

"The sudden coup d'état he planned this time seems to have gained momentum, but on the contrary, everyone in the city is in danger, and even neutral cities will oppose him for this."

"However, he couldn't get much benefit from it."

"It is unlikely that the cities will be fully united. After this incident, the major cities may be forced to respond."

Mrs. Alice suddenly smiled and said, "Ivita, you have to worry about yourself."

"Me?" Evita asked strangely. "Why should I worry about myself?"

Mrs. Alice nodded, "Well, it's you. Even if we didn't intentionally publicize you, the matter cannot be hidden. The Ambrose City Council and Viscount Winchester will know what happened to Parvega."

"I'm afraid you will soon be forced to make a choice between the two parties."

Ivita pursed her lips in silence.

In order to maintain neutrality, he had already ignored a letter from Ambrose City Council and Viscount Winchester.

But at that time, he was still insignificant, and no one would pay attention to a small role.

Such a commotion in Parvega this time might attract the attention of both parties again. I don't know what attitudes the city council of Ambrose and Viscount Winchester will have this time.

Ivita said: "I see. If there is nothing else, I will take a step first."

Before he left, Mrs. Alice suddenly said to Ivita: "Master Ivita, tomorrow there will be a public trial of traitors in Parliament."

"The court needs thirty of the most respected and distinguished people in Parvega to become a jury and participate in the trial of the traitor. You are also invited. If you agree to participate, I will send someone to notify you tomorrow , and lead you to the court of Parvega."

Mrs. Alice said: "Of course, you can also refuse, this is your right."

"You young people are more lively."

"In tomorrow's court, the most powerful people in Parvega will come, including foreigners, big merchants from the noble commercial republic, captains from the Belisarius commercial republic, and lawyers from Florcana. us."

"In addition, the principal offender, Lord Prower, will be tried in court."

Ivita originally wanted to refuse, and he wanted to return to the Baron of Molo, because God Pan said before that many important people would pass through his territory recently.

Moreover, he has to go back to preside over the work of the territory to see if he can increase the magical power of the natural attribute.

But hearing the three major republics, Ivita became more energetic.

He had heard many people talk about the three major republics before, but he didn't know what the people in the three major republics were like.

Since I want to collect laws, I naturally have to travel all over the world and look at people and affairs.

"Then I can stay in this city for one more day." Ivita replied.

This is agreed.

Mrs. Alice was not surprised to hear that Ivita was about to leave. She only came to this city for business.

After returning at night, the servants told Ivita, the Griffin knight and the demon hunter Hei Lang, that they were finally sober.

Ivita noticed a detail, that is, the Griffin knight woke up first, and it seemed that he was refreshed after just sleeping.

Chaofan Heart's ability to digest alcohol is indeed strong.

After Griffin and Heilang woke up from the wine, they vaguely remembered what Iveta had taught them, so their faces were not very good-looking, and they were a little nervous, for fear that Iveta would continue to teach them.

But after Ivita returned to the house, he just stayed in the main hall for a while, and didn't even look at the two people standing side by side with pens.

Cavalier Griffin hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he did not speak.

Before returning to the bedroom, Ivita threw the bag containing thirty gold pounds to Knight Griffin. Knight Griffin said in surprise, "My lord, this?"

Ivita turned his back to them and said, "Go to the market in Parvega tomorrow, use these gold pounds to buy food, and then take the team back to the territory."

"In the future, our territory will use grain to pay salaries."

He still remembered that the Grand Duke of the Forest cursed Ambrose that the price of grain would definitely increase in the future.

Therefore, during this period of time, he had to buy enough food to survive the famine first.

After speaking, Ivita left here and returned to the bedroom.

It made the two of them face each other, and I don't know what attitude Iveta had, whether he was angry or not.

Griffin said to Black Wolf, "We shouldn't have had so much drink yesterday."

"Next time we'll have a drink when we don't have official business."

Black Wolf shrugged. "Yesterday, in order to show off in front of those noble ladies and young ladies, you dragged me to get drunk together."

"I was still awake."

"I thought yesterday that you could find one or two girls who fell in love with you. Unexpectedly, you got drunk later."

"No one wants to make out with a drunkard. Isn't that what you drink for nothing?"

The Griffin knight left the place with a dark face.

Black history.

The next day, in the morning, Hei Lang and Griffin took four apprentices to the market to purchase, and then prepared to return to the territory.

And Evita went to Parvega's court with the old witch.

Parvega's court is an open-air hall, which is already full of wealthy citizens who have nothing to do.

These citizens are basically the middle class who don't need to sell their coolies and wisdom to make money, or even wealthy businessmen.

Therefore, they are very interested in trying these traitors.

Anyway, idle is idle.

Sometimes, watching a court decision is like watching a play.

Anyway, this can be regarded as part of the public entertainment.

And Ivita came to the jury seat under the leadership of the people arranged by Mrs. Alice.

The place where the jury sits looks very ordinary. There are only thirty wooden stools, but there is a small table in front of each wooden stool, and some simple fruits and water are even placed on it.

However, everyone in this row of seats is older, middle-aged and elderly.

It seemed strange that Ivita, a young man, sat in.

When the old witch saw Ivita sitting in, she also found a chair and sat on it. The person who led the way looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak several times.

He walked around beside the old witch, very much wanting to say, this is not your seat.

The old witch finally raised her head and looked at him. The guide was showing a relaxed expression. Who knew that the old witch said, "What are you doing dangling in front of me? I'm not a beauty! I'm dizzy, get out of here. "

The person who led the way looked at Ivita with a perplexed expression.

Evita is also ashamed, what is the old witch doing sitting in the jury seat, and you are not invited.

At this time, the other members of the jury did not speak, but looked at this change curiously.

Mrs. Alice came over, noticed this, and said to the guide, "Add another stool here."

It's not a big deal.

It's just a seat.

Mrs. Alice didn't want any unsightly conflicts with Ivita, so she immediately proposed a solution.

This small matter before the trial was resolved in such an instant.

Ivita secretly praised this in her heart, and Mrs. Alice's ability to handle affairs is still very good.

Ivita has been worried that the old witch will cause any trouble. Apart from facing himself, this guy is basically doing his own way.

Fortunately, the court session was soon to begin.

The mayor, of course, appeared as the judge of this important court. He was dressed in a solemn judge's suit, which was gray and cumbersome as a whole, and looked like a kind of cloak.

He announced in a loud voice that the court was officially opened, and everyone present stood up.

This seems to represent that everyone present respects the judge's decision.

Ivita stood up as the Romans did, and found that the old witch was still sitting there, looking around curiously, and quickly pulled her up.

Bishop Parvega, who was sitting next to the judge, stood up for a while, but you are still sitting, what is going on.

However, probably because of Ivita's face, the people around didn't say anything.

The trial process is very fast. In this era of Ambrose, the law has not yet been divided into civil law and criminal law, and the process is relatively simple.

However, due to the process, lawyers were hired for these people.

The public counsel appointed by Ambrose pleaded guilty with little to no defense for those involved in the mutiny.

So round after round of people came up, the judge immediately announced that they had betrayed Ambrose and Parvega, and then asked the jury to make some symbolic decisions, and then they could be sentenced to death that day.

Ivita sighed, and on the paper handed to him, he wrote his opinion on the list of all criminals who are currently in court - agreeing to the death penalty.

It seems that this court is still relatively primitive, and it is different from what I thought before I came here.

Next to him was a rich businessman in a white robe and a sleeveless jacket, with a sapphire ring and an emerald ring on his hand, and a silver brooch on his chest. Hearing Iveta sigh, the rich businessman said: "Disappointed?"

"That's generally what Ambrose's courts are about."

"The high-flying judges and lawyers, both sides are usually represented by city officials, or even hired workers."

"The jury and this court are more like witnesses."

"Look at the audience applauding for the death penalty. Do they like the law or the excitement?"

"Judicial power is the most primitive right of independence for all citizens, but people in this city do not cherish this sacred power so much."

Ivita was stunned for a moment, and said to the wealthy businessman beside him, "Excuse me, where are you from?"

"I'm from the Commercial Republic, and I'm a fur trader. My name is Margo Lee." Margo Lee said with a smile, "But I haven't returned to China for four years."

"I've heard of you, Lord Ivita."

"If you were in an aristocratic commercial republic, you would definitely realize the majesty of the law."

"The lawyers and the courts there are definitely not for show."

"There, the law is the king of the republic!"

Evita nodded.

At this time, the guards escorted Lord Prower up, but unlike those prisoners who looked ashamed, Lord Prower had an evil smile on his face for some reason, as if he was about to see a good show.

When Margo Lee saw the two lawyers behind Lord Prowler, his expression became strange. He whispered to Ivita, "That's Florcana's lawyer."

"It's strange."

"These shit-stirring sticks, they even take this kind of case. Lord Ivita, wait and see the good show."

The old witch suddenly looked up at Lord Prowler, frowning, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with that guy. There is something extra on him, and I can't tell. There is something wrong with that old man."

Lord Prower was escorted to the trial seat by the guards. He whistled suddenly and shook his head. "Why are you going to give me the death penalty today?"

"Hahaha……"

"I'm afraid you can't give it."

The mayor who was the judge looked at him with a dark face, and he slammed the table to silence the noisy citizens around him.

The mayor sneered. "Here, you are still stubborn, and you will be sentenced to death immediately."

The two lawyers of Florcana spoke. "One moment, please. Our employer, Lord, is not breaking Ambrose's laws."

"You can't sentence him to death."

The whole audience was noisy again.

Evita frowned, is this all right?
Is it a plea of ​​innocence?

The mayor sneered: "Three days ago, this man led the army in the city hall and wanted a coup. Many people saw it, and you still want to deny it."

"Also, he hired Fraticelli assassins to kill people in the streets."

"This is what many people have seen."

"It was even witnessed by Lord Baron Ivita. Such an obvious act of treason has not violated Ambrose's law?"

The two lawyers of Florcana did not change their faces. "We have sufficient evidence to show that Lord Prower was actually coerced to do the above things in his name."

"This is Lord Prower's testimony."

"We still have witnesses, and we can invite him to testify. They can prove that Lord Prower was coerced by Viscount Winchester and the local nobles of Parvega throughout the whole process."

"My lord is also a victim."

"He is also a suffering person!"

"Like many of the victims present, he was persecuted by nobles. In the future, he will follow the example of our Lord Ivita and help the city council of Parvega!"

"Our evidence is sufficient to show that the Lord was the victim."

After those so-called witnesses came to the stage and turned black and white.

The mayor's face was completely darkened.

Ivita didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Because the defense lawyer gave up defending before, many things can be sentenced to death immediately as long as they go through the motions.

Only when it came to the lord, under the repeated confusion of black and white by the lawyers of Florcana, things unexpectedly turned around.

The old witch laughed. "Let me just say that Florcana's lawyer is very good."

"Last time, thanks to them, I was acquitted on the spot in court."

"Don't look at them as being reckless, but in such an extremely serious case, they can only do things so extremely. If it really makes sense."
